Book Reviews

This is a book review section written by cricket book tragics who have a real passion for the greatest of all games, and the written word. We have deliberately not adhered to the normal book review standard of only reviewing the latest releases (although there are plenty of new book reviews on the site), so you will find all the great cricket authors: C.L.R. James, Cardus, A.A. Thomson, and even ‘Old Ebor’.

That great cricket character and leg spin bowler Arthur Mailey once said ‘there are 7584 people in the English-speaking world who buy every book on cricket published’. So if you want to know whether you should lift a particular books sales up to 7585 check what we have rated it first, it just might save you wasting your hard earned.
